Join the Community Boating Center and The Bronze Chapter for a nighttime adventure on Bellingham Bay!

Duration: 3 hours

Experience the magic of Bioluminescence in Bellingham Bay!

Witness the display of this enchanting light on this nighttime paddle. We will take you to some of the best places in the region to see their glow! This trip is great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

The bioluminescence phenomenon is created by planktonic organisms that are active from June to September in our coastal marine habitats. Our guides will explain why they glow and why our destination on this tour offers such a uniquely incredible viewing opportunity!

You may request a sit on top kayak or rowboat to better accommodate children or to offer a more comfortable platform for folks with mobility or balance concerns. Don’t hesitate to ask us what boat may suit you best.

Safety is our number one priority, running this tour at night requires experienced guides, good weather conditions and mindful participants. We will cancel and refund or reschedule the tour if the conditions are not safe. Usually we can anticipate conditions about 48 hours in advance but sometimes the conditions change just hours beforehand.

Experience is not necessary, but be ready to be out on the water most of the time!
